MELBOURNE — West Papua's Morning Star flag was hoisted at a rally held outside the Indonesia consulate on August 15, the 24th anniversary of the “Act of Free Choice” (a phony UN ballot that ratified West Papua’s incorporation into Indonesia).

West Papuan independence activist Jacob Rumbiak called for international intervention against alleged genocide. He applauded the MPs who defeated the Howard government’s anti-refugee bill. Herman Wainggai thanked Australia for his temporary protection visa, and appealed for international protection for all West Papuans.
